About this Program
Translation and Publications is Dzokden’s strategic initiative to translate and publish two primary sources for global transformation: Khentrul Rinpoche’s wisdom library, his extensive teachings, sadhanas, videos and commentaries and the rare pith instructions and complete systems of Kalachakra including core texts of the Jonang tradition, essential writings on the Zhentong view of emptiness, and works supporting the Rimé (non-sectarian) approach.
This monumental effort is powered by our Enlightened Activities Program, where a global community of over 100 volunteers in 16 languages make the heart-essence of Rinpoche’s wisdom library and the Jonang-Kalachakra a living reality. Organized into specialized language teams, their collective devotion has generated a vast wealth of Dharma now accessible to the world across multiple formats:
-
- 65 books in 16 languages available in 6 countries with another 10 books preparing for publication
- 27 YouTube channels have over 830 videos published in 11 languages
- Subtitled video libraries and transcript archives including English and 14 subtitled languages
- 16 Facebook/Instagram pages are moderated in their native languages
- 56 audiobooks are currently published in 12 languages
- Real-time oral interpretation during live teachings
Our Aspiration and Why This is Important
To manifest a Golden Age of peace and harmony, we are committed to dismantling all language barriers that keep humanity from exploring the profound values and qualities of the Kalachakra Tantra. Through this vital initiative we ensure the priceless wisdom of the Kalachakra-Jonang and Khentrul Rinpoche are available to everyone.
We invite you to be part of this profound form of merit and Dharma service. Whether you assist as a translator, proofreader, or media specialist, your contribution is vital to growing Rinpoche’s wisdom library and ensuring the Dharma is accessible to all of suffering humanity.
